I'm surprised at the quality of the movie line thus far. I figured it would be really cool, but not at the same level that is actually is. Even my friends who are only passing toy enthusiasts recognize how awesome the IM2 figures are. A friend of mine saw my War Machine and promptly headed out to get one himself.

Is the blue the variant? all i can find is the movie series war machine with blue eyes. at least 6 so far. as for the canon the trailer showed one gun thats what i'm going qwith until i can find a missile launcher that works. i like the look of the movie one but it started with the comic book armor and thats where my first love of war machine will stay for now...

And I agree the figures missing that missile pod and I look forward to the release of the unmasked figure so I can correct that lol. I think once the full release of the line hits will see more of both. and then there's that Kmart exclusive 3 pack with a war machine paint variant...its hard to see good detail but you can see there are obvious paint changes. which you can see in this pic.

Thanks for the review, Shin, I finally found the Movie War Machine at KMart today. So far, I'm pretty impressed with him, the looseness I can fix, and I am really liking Movie War Machine more than I thought. Great figure.

Last night i stood in wal-mart with a movie version and comic version WM and stared at them both for atleast 5 minutes trying to decide which to buy or both. I ended up getting the comic version, it just stood out more to me. Now the 2nd time passing on the movie version, kinda regretting it. Hope i find it again cuz im really wanting it to espicially after reading this review and these comments.

Just wanted to add my favorable opinion of this toy.
the attention to detail is amazing. I love the text and other army decals. The guns are nice. I'm definietely going to get the blue version, the unmasked version and the Vibranium armor that comes with the Kmart 3-pack. It's just that good. |

I suspect that for most fans, it will all boil down to what you want more, a comic War Machine, or movie version. If you have the cash, I say get both. I paid $8.99+tax at Kmart for my movie version and have no regrets. It's a great figure and I did not want to hunt for him after the movie premieres and the figure undoubtedly sells out anywhere. It doesn't hurt that I liked the design since 1st sight in the trailer, and am a War Machine fan to begin with. Speaking of which, I forgot about those. Wonder if they will be superior with regards to paint apps, definitely want those interlocking cases!

From pictures, I think the only difference is the stands. The figures look to be the same. I just want the helmetless Mark VI to come out, since it has superior paint to the regular Mark VI.

I want the unmasked mark VI to Id pop the head off and put the helmet one on it lol...I want the full release already the war machine variant is frustrating to find lol...and I agree the detail of the movie figures are amazing I have both the comic war machine and the movie version and there's no comparison the comic one is just sucky compared to it...
I have to say the only decent comic figure with detail that is coming out is the hulkbuster the others are just so simple their boring compared to the movie line...I really wanna get that kmart 3pack the set looks great...I gotta say I really like the 3.75" line only thing I hate is how slow their getting into stores lol |

The level of detail and paint apps are superior on the movie series version. The paint apps on the comic series version are the worst part about it, unfortunately, it looks like an attempt at weathering that was unsuccessful. You'll see later this week. Range of motion, and detail is actually better on the movie version.

And I agree if you have the cash, get both. Wal-Mart's currently got all of the single pack figures for $6.96 each (regular $8.44), so I would try there first. But even at $9 each, they're both still worth it.

I've found a third version of this figure.
It's one with blue eyes and a blue arc reactor, but it does not have any white text printed anywhere on him. Also he looks as if he has a "brushed metal" type of wash over him. I saw 3 of these at a Walmart location and 1 which I bought from TRU. I believe that this could have been the first version that Hasbro released based on the pre-production photo shown on the back of the package. Maybe Marvel sent Hasbro an early shot of War-Machine before the special effects coloring was added. Maybe at this point War-Machine was only shown to have white eyes, so Hasbro went with blue based on seeing what Iron Man and Iron Monger looked like in the first movie. The same might be true as far as the missing text is concerned. Maybe the first image of War-Machine that was sent to Hasbro by Marvel didn't include the text and numbers on his body. Who knows? In any case there are now 3 versions of this figure going around. If someone sees a War-Machine with red eyes and a red arc reactor, but doesn't have text please let us know. Oh by the way before someone posts the lame saying of "without pics this thread is useless" I just wanted to say that I'm at work right now so I can't take or post any pics.

True, Comic IM may not have the articulation of his Movie counterpart, but he is by no means a brick. He's even got more articulation than most of the DCIH line.

Comic War Machine is far from a brick, he has excellent articulation. He just has more limited elbow and ab movement than the movie series version. Honestly, the comic one is the better of the 2(both however, are great figures and must haves from the line).

I completely agree. That's why I can't understand how someone else could say he's a brick. He's nowhere close. And I should know: I grew up with G1 Transformers

I've been wondering for quite some time now, does the unmasked Iron Man and War Machine come with a removable helmet?

i doubt that they will, just looking at the pics the helmets would be huge on the figures.

They might have swappable masked and unmasked heads, at least I hope so. After looking closer at the images, unfortunately it looks like the Mark VI unmasked figure uses the Power Glow Mark VI body, the one with very limited shoulder movement.
